Promise: Fufilled

Pumpkin Palooza is officially OVER. *cue victory dance, loud music, much cheering*

It got a little desperate there at the end. The patterns I used are all either made up on the spot or borrowed from ravelry. Just look up "pumpkin" and go to town. Some are also available via google.

Leaves were a little tricky. Some are cut from felt, some are off of plastic pumpkin vine, and some are crochet or knit. Lily whipped up a little pattern that I will share with you all if you decide you want some pumpkiny leaves, it's down at the end after all the pictures.

I now give you: PUMPKINS! (click to embiggen)

 

 

 

Ta DAAAAAA!!!

If you want to know any specifics just ask, I'll be more than happy to share. I used a bunch of different fun orange and green yarns from Michael's, mostly Lion Brand Vanna's Choice. Also some bernat roving (SO FUN! GET SOME) and some more, god help us, LB Homespun.




Lily's leaf pattern::
1.     Using disappearing loop, make 3 sc, 1 hdc, 7 dc, 1 hdc, and 2 sc. Join last sc to first using sl.
2.     Ch 3, skip 2 in previous row, join with sl, [Ch 2, skip 1, sl]x3, Ch 3, skip 2, sl, then sl until you reach the first Ch 3
3.   In the first ch 3 loop [sc, 2 hdc, sc], repeat in first ch 2 loop, in second ch 2 loop [hdc, dc, tc, ch2, tc, dc, hdc], in the next ch 2 loop and ch3 loop [sc, 2 hdc, sc]

Possible Changes:

1. Using disappearing loop, make 3 sc, 1 hdc, 7 dc, 1 hdc, and 2 sc,  Join last sc to first using sl.

2. Ch 3, skip 2 in previous row, join with sl, [Ch 3, skip 1, sl]x3, Ch 3, skip 2, sl, then sl until you reach the first Ch 3 

3. In the first ch 3 loop [sc, 2 hdc, sc], in next loop [sc, 3 dc, sc], next loop [hdc, dc, tc, ch2, tc, dc, hdc], in the next loop [sc, 3 dc, sc], and last ch3 loop [sc, 2 hdc, sc]

5.    Sc around, with 3 sc in the ch 2 loop
